Wow! The food here is incredible, very reasonably priced, and in such a unique and lovely location. The owner was super friendly and kind. We had a lemongrass chicken banh mi, bbq pork banh mi, Vietnamese pie, Vietnamese iced coffee with coconut, and iced oolong tea. Everything was so delicious and flavorful and fresh. We will absolutely be back!

Awesome bahn mi with a huge menu of vegan options. Loved the bahn mi, some of the best I’ve had in Portland. Also affordable. If this place was in North Portland, I would have a problem.

The Special Bahn Mi was the best I’ve ever had. They gave us a special coconut desert that was also to die for. great indoor seating too with maps and fish and all kinds of books from math to vegan eating to a matthew perry bio.

I had their food for the first time from a delivery app, so impressed! Vegan Vietnamese food, especially banh mi, is some of my favorite food. I had the vegan lemongrass chicken baguette/banh mi sandwich, the vegan meat was delicious and juicy 🤤 I'll definitely be visiting in person asap.
